Bellers101 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Taking nothing away from Ricky as its still a great win for him against a top class field but yet again we see the reason I give these big events a wide berth. The home rider/team nearly always wins. For me its not worth the time, effort and money to attend. OK they are gaurenteed the Sheffield support but the rest of the fans may feel ripped off! Please lets go neutral next season. I think the BSPA would be suprised how many fans actually turn up as I would and there must be a few others out there who feel the same! If we carry on we this trend I and quite a few people I haqve spoken to will not be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifaxtiger Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Oh Look another "Big" meeting won by a home rider..When will these meetings be held on a neutral track?? crying shame that these meetings are not on neutral tracks,another home rider wins makes a total mockery of the sport great shame. Been tried - 2007 at Swindon. The gate was awful (albeit at least in part because of a traffic hold up). You can't really blame the BSPA for holding it at a track that will at least make a profit because all the home fans turn up rather than somewhere else where none of them will and hence the attendance is totally reliant upon people travelling. What I would say is hold it at a track where the home bias is considerably less pronounced - what's wrong with Birmingham ? It should be the case that the spectator comes first when a venue is chosen (taking into account the potential gate figure) not just be a matter of who is going to cough up the most to hold it. No-one, I believe, can make a reasonable argument that the fact that the meeting was at Sheffield does not undermine Ashworth's success, that he would have been among the favourites elsewhere or that both of you have a bit of a point in that this result does not serve speedway well.

YorkshirePudding Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 obviously there's going to be alot of people saying home rider was always going to win, unfair advantage etc. but ricky deserved it tonight and was lightening from the tapes, so a massive well done to ricky some close exciting racing tonight but not as much passing as last year, but what can you expect when there's 16 good riders all riding their hearts out. was a nailbiting final and ricky made a great start, the other 3 seemed to fight it out between themselves for the first lap and ricky had a big enough lead to win it. just a little grumble about a minority of kings lynn fans stood on the 3rd and 4th bends, after the final there were boo's coming from them and they made themselves look fools. can't they just be happy with a league title and be happy for a young british rider who rode his heart out. not much to cheer about living in kings lynn though so i understand your pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrss Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 i can see why the bspa decide to hold pl event on pl tracks each year, but i think they should be shared around more often. this will stop the 'sheffield rider' winning it each year.

dave69 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 It should be held at Newport as there would be no home advantage.No-one from Newport ever wins there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
